That said, she will definitely be back this season: The Garden Club of Palm Beach has announced that Stewart will be the guest speaker at the organization’s annual free lecture Feb. 23 at The Society of the Four Arts‘ Gubelmann Auditorium. The 2:30 p.m. program is open to the public, but reservations will be required. And that’s, as Stewart might say, a good thing, given the expected demand.

Stewart’s topic will be “Great Ideas for the Garden,” and she has plenty of those. She recently called her longtime friendCharlotte L. Beers, who had just closed on a house on Middle Road, with several suggestions about what Beers should plant when she reworks her landscape, as reported last week in the Shiny Sheet.

Mark your calendars: The reservation phone line at 655-7226 will open at 10 a.m. Jan. 11 for Stewart’s talk, and tickets will be limited to two per person.
